Chelsea Freeman became nostalgic about her time with the Atlanta Braves as her husband Freddie Freeman returned to Truist Park with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Mrs. Freeman took to Twitter to pour her heart out and express her current state of mind.

She tweeted that this was her first visit to Atlanta in eight months, and she adores this city very much. Chelsea added that she is so grateful for all of the wonderful memories made here that she is at a loss for words.

"First time back to Atlanta in 8 months. I love this city so much. It truly is so special. I cannot stop crying. There’s not enough words to express my gratitude for all of the amazing memories here." - Chelsea Freeman

The Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Dodgers will be playing a three-game series. This time, Freddie will be playing as a rival.

In the 2007 MLB Draft, Freddie Freeman was picked by the Atlanta Braves. While playing with Atlanta Braves, Freddie emerged as a prominent MLB player. He received a Gold Glove Award, an MVP Award, and two Silver Slugger Awards, and he helped the Braves earn a World Series.

"MVP. Gold Glove. 2 Silver Sluggers. Hank Aaron Award. World Series title. What a career thus far for Freddie Freeman." - MLB

However, this past off-season, Freeman signed a six-year, $162 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

"Did I ever think I would not be an Atlanta Brave? No, I did not think that... When you get to free agency, all bets are off. You really don't know what's going to happen." - MLB Network

After the Atlanta Braves acquired Matt Olson and declined to give Freeman the compensation he deserves, Freddie made his move.

Freeman's family received a lot of hate after Freddie signed with Los Angeles Dodgers in 2022. In a Q&A session on Instagram on the occasion of "Mental Health Day," a fan asked Chelsea how she is doing in general. Freeman wrote a heartfelt response. A fan took Mrs. Freeman's answer as a screenshot and posted it on Twitter.

"This answer to a question on Instagram made me appreciate and respect Chelsea Freeman even more. I hate the vitriol directed at her. I hope Braves Country is respectful and kind when they come to town next month." - E. Goldie

For Atlanta Braves fans and the Freeman family, this weekend's face-off between the Dodgers and the Braves will be bittersweet.
